Right on top of Bradley's charge
that the common school system of
Kentucky is utterly worthless, comes
the announcement that the per capita
of both white and black children has
been increased from 81 Go in 1886 TO
81 30 in 1887. There has been grad
ual increase for several years and an
increase of 80 cents in one year shows
what can be done under an honest,
Democratic Administration. Such
facts as this speak louder than Brad

THE ORCHARD.
UiI.ter- Kiii,no Of Fruit Trees


There is wide difference in the hardi-
ness of different varieties of fruit trees,
says the american Agticuiturjsf. Some
varieties endure severe freezing better than
others. \ variety that lives one winter
may die the next because of the changes
surrounding it; and SO tender variety may
live when one naturally more hardy dies.
Sudden changes often work disastrously.
This was seen in the winter of 1853 in q
belt of country extending from New York
to Michigan. Ounce trees and pear trees
on ounce stocks were greatly injured by
rapid SUGGESTIONS of very warm and in
tensely cold weather. The result was that
nearly all the trees that were not sheltered
were destroyed, or so weakened that they
continued TO die till late in the summer
The warmth had promoted sap circulation,
and the sap, suddenly freezing, formed
little crystals III the wood, which lacerated
the fibers by every motion of the swaying
trees. This cause may be supplemented
by such q freezing and thawing of the
limbs and branches as dries the life out of
them. In all such cases the in jury TO
trees will be in proportion to the exposure,
and SO the protection of good wind breaks
Is of great importance. In that memorable
season of such widespread loss those trees
that CHANGED to be sheltered from the winds
escaped. 1t was also observed that the
loss was not SO great with trees on clayey
soil that shed off the water as on sandy
soil that was filled with water.
A wise precaution against winter killing
in sections where there is danger is not to
cultivate late in the season. The culture
that stimulates late growth of soft wood
that does not ripen before the severity of
winter sets in is to be avoided. The i'm
mature wood is easily injured, the cells
are ruptured by freezing and thawing, and
the disorganized cells IN spring are no
longer able to perform their Office. Sc
cure an early growth of wood that will
ripen in time TO be ready for all changes
of weather, and you will have comparative
security.

exhibited two of these fertile workers hav-
ing the ovaries drawn ont of their bodies
and attached TO the strings and abdominal
plates, so as to show that they are really
workers. There was a remarkable pecu-
liality to be observed in connection with the
ovarian tubes of these insects-every ordl-
nary worker possessed an undeveloped
ovary which it was very difficult both to
detect and dissect; but when under the in
fuence of some stimulus the worker be-
came fertile, number of points began to
appear in the tubes which afterward be-
came developed, and it would seem that
the eggs were developed in alienation
with others in an undeveloped condition,
and of which some very curious instances
were seen in the specimens before the

Which is the wiser, to keep the children
in such profound innocence of mind that
they are absolutely without knowledge of
evil until thrown into the world, or to pre-
pare them by degrees that such knowledge
may not come with sudden shock?
We often hear it asserted that a very un-
sophisticated youth on being thrown among
mixed companions is more liable to go
wrong than one possessing a greater
amount of worldly knowledge. According
TO this idea years of virtuous training must
succumb to the first breath of evil.
Surely this is wrong. "As the twig is
bent the tree is Inclined" and purity of
thought during the important year when
the young mind is forming cannot SO
quickly be made of non effect.
In the averaged mixed school it is pain
fully true that young children often learn
much of the evil with the good. No mat
ter how painstaking the teacher may be,
there are always some children of vicious
minds who give debasing ideas to their
most innocent companions. Where the
children are accustomed to confde every
thing to their mother, she can learn enough
of the tendencies of their associates 10 ar
rest any approach of evil influences. But
many good and ell-meaning mothers
never think of inquiring into the converse
ton and habits of playmates until shocked
by some revelation from their children.
Whenever it is possible child is better
mentally and morally if educated under its
mothers eye than when thrown among
mixed companions during early years a
child educated in frankness of nature and
purity of thought is far less likely to give
way to evil than one who has been coars-
ened during tender years.
But it is not only vicious playmates who
must be guarded against. Many child
loses the bloom of its natural refinement
through association with an ignorant
nursery maid. Many foreign nurses, chosen
for their bright faces and pleasant man
ners, are not really fit to be trusted with
children. They impart their own vulgarity
of thought and speech to their little
charges. and the evil learned in this way
too often leaves its impress
